FlyNYON will utilize BETA’s ALIA VTOL aircraft for reliable, quiet passenger tours and experiences throughout NYC
FlyNYON helicopter tours today announced a committed purchase order of up to five aircraft from BETA Technologies, an aerospace company manufacturing electric aircraft. The aircraft — BETA’s ALIA VTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) — will join FlyNYON’s fleet of helicopters to offer charter and photo tourism experiences across New York City.
Powered by cutting-edge electric propulsion systems and advanced enabling technologies pioneered by the BETA team, ALIA is engineered with comprehensive redundancies to deliver exceptional operational safety that fully aligns with the stringent standards of aerospace. BETA’s aircraft are designed for safety and reliability, and offer quiet, low-cost air mobility. Over the past six years, BETA has conducted rigorous safety and operational testing of its ALIA aircraft. BETA’s passenger configured ALIA offers a spacious cabin for five passengers, a pilot, and luggage.
“FlyNYON has demonstrated a clear commitment to urban air mobility and is offering an excellent passenger experience,” said Patrick Buckles, BETA’s Sales Lead. “With its quiet, low-cost, and ultra-reliable profile, our ALIA aircraft will help set a new standard in safe, customer-first operations as FlyNYON looks to continue expanding and innovating.”
“We are incredibly excited to take this step forward with BETA Technologies. Their aircraft offer a new standard in efficiency and performance, and their exceptionally quiet operations makes them particularly well-suited for the urban and regional environments we serve, allowing us to fly more neighborly. This partnership supports our continued focus on delivering safe, modern, and customer-focused aerial services as we grow our fleet and expand our capabilities.” -Patrick Day, CEO FlyNYON
FlyNYON’s purchase follows BETA’s passenger-carrying sales demonstration flight into John F. Kennedy International Airport at the beginning of June. This was the first passenger-carrying flight conducted by a U.S. company, as well as the first Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) flight into a New York City airport, displaying the maturity and operational readiness of BETA’s technology. This year, the company has also flown a production-intent aircraft across the U.S., covering 8,000 nautical miles coast-to-coast, and has been flying another of its aircraft throughout Europe, including at the Paris Air Show.
The company is manufacturing its aircraft and charging infrastructure at its nearly 200,000 square foot production facility in Vermont — steadily ramping up production, certification, and delivery efforts. FlyNYON joins firm orders and deep partnerships from top global operators and organizations, including UPS, Air New Zealand, United Therapeutics, Bristow, Blade, Helijet, Metro Aviation, New Zealand Air Ambulance, Republic Airways, and the U.S. Department of Defense. BETA will begin initial deliveries later this year with aircraft slated to go to Bristow and Air New Zealand.
